That's not how policing works; you don't just get to disappear while your at lunch, you're still on duty so long as you're in uniform. It's not like taking your lunch break at McDonalds and ignoring the kid puking on the jungle gym.

The CIA and other intelligence agencies recruit history majors as analysts depending on how you market yourself. I had a professor who was a former analyst that told us to draw attention to the fact that as historians we analyze documents and the work of other historians to make a critical assessment.

Because he says some pretty crazy things on top of he conservative things; I'm about as conservative as it gets, I like some of what Trump says. Then he says things like "let's mark all the Muslims" and he becomes less than an ideal candidate.

Well Peggy, much like boys would ask you out to jump on the proverbial grenade for their friend, presidential candidates run to take attention off of the bastard that wants to actually run by making themselves easy targets for the media.

If you're seriously asking, some politicians will agree to some sort of compromise in things they vote for, even if it goes against their personal views/goals, for the greater good of moving foreword. By consistently having a voting record that reflects only personal goals/the goals of the particular constituents in your district, it's possible that this shows an unwillingness to work with the other side. Compromise can be important from time to time. Constant flip-flopping or always voting contrary to what you run on is obviously bad, but like most things in politics, it's pretty ambiguous.
TL;DR- politics is tricky n' shit, and there's rarely one completely right answer.
